<p>SmartHaggle is a system developed by OPG to allow in-store haggling. This option can be enabled in any official store to allow users to haggle with the shopkeeper. If you don't know what haggling is, well then, let me give you an example....</p>

<p>Let's say this really cool Sword costs 5,000 points but you only wanna go up to 4,000 for it. Maybe you would start by saying "I'll give you 3,000 for it" then the shopkeeper might say "I don't think I could go that low.. maybe 4,500" then you say "I'll give you 4,000 final offer!" and the shopkeeper goes "sold." Of course you might not always be as lucky ;)</p>

<p>Now here is what makes SmartHaggle Unique then any other haggling system. In order for anyone to be able to haggle with the shopkeeper SmartHaggle must FIRST be enabled in that store, so not all stores will allow haggling. You must also remember that the shopkeepers has an attitude. You don't wanna make them angry or they could ban you! Their attitude will determine many things, listed below.</p>

<p>1. The ammount the shopkeeper might lower his price, for example a nice person might go 30% lower, but a rude shopkeeper might only go 5% lower.</p>

<p>2. You can make a shopkeeper mad by staying too low. The nicer the shopkeeper is, the higher tolerence he has. So a nice one might allow a user to try to lower the official price 6 or 7 times, but a rude one might only allow it 2 or 3 times. You don't wanna make a shopkeeper mad!</p>

<p>3. Shopkeepers have the right to refuse service to anyone. So maybe the shopkeeper won't sell you his goods if you make him mad. It might just be for 5 minutes, it might be for an hour. Maybe he'll completely ban you from his store. Now you wouldn't really want that, would you? So stay on the shopkeepers good side!</p>

<p>Now that you know more about SmartHaggle I hope you can make a smart decision whether to haggle or not in the stores ;)</p>
